TOP 10 VOCAB WORDS

Question 1

Relative Flexibility

Answer 1

The body’s tendency to take the path of least resistance

Question 2

Autogenic Inhibition

Answer 2

States that a prolonged golgi tendon stimulation inhibits muscle spindles of the same muscle

Question 3

Reciprocal Inhibition

Answer 3

When an agonist receives a signal to contract an inhibitory signal is sent to its antagonist muscle which lengthens

Question 4

Synergistic Dominance

Answer 4

When a synergist muscle takes over for an agonist muscle that exhibits a decrease in neural drive

Question 5

Precomtemplation

Answer 5

Not thinking about working out (Stage 1 of change)

Question 6

Glucogenesis

Answer 6

Creation of new glucose via non carbohydrate substrates, such as protein

Question 7

Extrinsic Motivation

Answer 7

Reward/Recognition (ex: winning 1st place in a race, cash prize, trophy)

Question 8

Agonist

Answer 8

Prime mover for a lift i.e Military Press (deltoid; synergist triceps, antagonist last), Bench Press (chest; synergist triceps, antagonist posterior deltoid), Squats (quads, knee / glutes hip; synergist hamstrings, antagonist psoas

Question 9

Heart Anatomy

Answer 9

SA Node (pacemaker of the heart), pulmonary artery (CO2 AWAY from the heart), Atriums (hold blood), 140/90 hypertension (systolic/diastolic)

PHA= Peripheral Heart Action: Squats to Push-Ups (upper-lower body exercise)

Question 10

OTP Model Acute Variables

Answer 10

Rest, Reps, Intensity, Tempo

Question 11

Davis Law

Answer 11

States that soft tissue molds along a line of stress

Question 12

Altered Reciprocal Inhibition

Answer 12

Overactive agonist muscle decreases neural drive to a functional antagonist muscle

Question 13

Sliding Filament Theory

Answer 13

Muscle contraction involving action & myosin sliding past one another shortening muscle during concentric muscle action

Question 14

Intrinsic Motivation

Answer 14

You feel a sense of satisfaction, belonging (ex: a grandma is happy because she can play with her grandkids due to exercising regularly)

Question 15

ALL or Nothing Principle

Answer 15

Motor units can’t vary amount of force they generate, they either contract maximally or not at all

Question 16

Length-Tension Relationship

Answer 16

Resting length if a muscle and the tension it can produce at this length, AKA relationship between actin & myosin (myosin is the larger myofilament)

Question 17

Principle of Specificity

Answer 17

States that the body will adapt to specific demands that are placed on it

Question 18

Neuromuscular Specificity

Answer 18

Refers to speed of contraction & exercise selection

Question 19

Mechanical Specificity

Answer 19

Refers to weight & movement placed on the body

Question 20

Type I vs Type II muscle fibers

Answer 20

Sprinter= 2 (fast twitch) marathon runner= 1 (slow twitch)

Type I= aerobic/fat utilization, Type II= carbs

Question 21

Bio Energetics

Answer 21

Phosphagen= high intense/explosive with long recovery (when creatine is used)

Question 22

Glycolysis

Answer 22

Middle (mod intensity)

Question 23

Oxidation

Answer 23

Low intense/short rest periods
